Abstract
By adding a suitable LC filter to the input of a Buck converter, it is possible to force the converter into discontinuous-input-voltage mode operation. A Buck converter in this mode of operation has useful prop erties such as power factor correction and soft turn-off switching. Th e operation, modeling, low-frequency behavior, and application of the converter are studied. Experimental results verifying the theoretical predictions are also presented.
